                     REGARDING HOUSE RESOLUTION 598

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. While we are waiting, I would just like the Members of 
Congress to know that later today House Resolution 598 will be brought 
to the floor relative to the problem of illegal dumping of foreign 
steel in our markets that has destroyed American families, our economy, 
destabilized much of our industry. And this is a very important vote in 
a very important debate today because, regardless of your personal 
persuasion on trade policy, this is not a debate about free trade 
today. This is not a debate about fair trade today, to a degree. It is 
a debate about illegal trade and enforcement of our trade laws.
  We can pass laws, but they are not ours to enforce. We will ensure 
today by the vote of the Congress that this illegal dumping be 
addressed and challenged. I am hoping that all Members will participate 
and support that resolution, H. Res. 598.
